This is overwhelming. Sudan President Bashir has slaughtered millions in a jihad against Christians, non-believers and moderate Muslims in Sudan.
Bashir's government is designated a "state sponsor of terrorism" by the
State Department.

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration plans to roll out a new policy toward
Sudan with an eye toward engaging the government in Khartoum but also warning that continued violence in
Darfur will result in penalties, U.S. officials said Friday.

Secretary
of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, the U.S. ambassador to the United
Nations, Susan Rice, and the
administration's special Sudan envoy, Scott Gration, are to unveil the policy
Monday at a news conference at
the State Department, the officials said.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because Congress has not yet
been briefed on the matter.

Instead, the new policy is designed to bring Khartoum into the fold by
offering incentives for improved relations for improvements in the situation in
Darfur as well as in southern Sudan, which will hold a referendum on succession
scheduled to take place in 2011, they said.

The Darfur conflict began
in February 2003 when ethnic African rebels took up arms against the
Arab-dominated Sudanese government in Khartoum, claiming discrimination and
neglect.

U.N. officials say the war has claimed at least 300,000 lives from violence,
disease and displacement. They say some 2.7 million people were driven from
their homes and at its height, in 2003-2005, it was called the world's worst
humanitarian
crisis.
